General Notes.
Mr. Henry Tribe is in town again. hay.
ing returned from Salt Lake City.
A. j. Carter, of Helena. Montana. is
in the city, connected with gas business.
The town, generally speaking, is very
quiet. All talks TO the contrary are toe
lively.
Miss Nellie Boyd will hold forth in
grand shape next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings, making a grand dis
play in Union Opera House. Her per.
formances will again be as grand as any
of her previously known exhibitions OF
dramatic art.
Percival J. Barratt is one of the most
prominent horsemen OF this peaceful COM
munity. His Bucephalas carries him
nicely.
learn from T H Hudson that yesterday
the grand irrigation ditch called the Cen
trail Canal, was turned on to the fertile
fields of Kay's creek. The canal is q
miles in length, starting from the Weber
canyon, where there is more than a mile
of solid lumber fuming down over hun
dreds of thousands of the most product
i've acres OF the land. This is great i'm
provement, one that will spread its BEN
efits over reach OF country where any
number OF citizens will grow up with fam
lilies able TO raise the regular subscription
price for The DEMOCRAT.
F. H. Hudson, one of the leading
Kaysvlllians, was in town yesterday. He
looked as happy as could be under the
circumstances.
Jack Seagers spent the day land a
dime or two) in Ogden on Tuesday. Jack
still believes in the imminent glory OF
this part of the kingdom.
Doctor Condon's prose is allowed to be
more poetical than his poetry. Please
don't reverse that criticism into stating
that his poetry is prosy.
Taking apout shingling, the other day,
reminded me of the slate which WAS
broken in Percival ]. Barratt's ante
chamber. Ask Heber Hudson why he
broke it.
This evening, at 7:3O o'clock, there
will he a grand social gathering in the
Fremen's Hall, by invitation from the
DEPARTMENT. The Ogden Brass Band will
also be there. The City Council have
been invited, as have the members of
the press. No doubt it will be a
very pleasant affair, songs and speeches
vieing with toasts and discourses.
To-day, the 18th Of May, our old friend
Charles WEIGH, Esq, celebrates the 5Sth
anniversary of his advent into this mum
dane sphere. Mr.. Welch used to be
watermaster Of Ogden under the Herrick
regime. He was then the friend and
favorer of the working men. Now he is
on his own hook. But, all the same, he
occupies a respectable corner in the
memory of all old Ogdenites, who will be
pleased to join with the writer in hoping
for Charley" many happy returns CT the
natal occurrence.
The First District Court yesterday was
occupied in the Ogden Valley water case,
in which some OF the Brothers Ferrin, OF
Eden, are implied. J. NJ. Ferrin, one of
the defendants in the case, testified. The
gist of his evidence showed that the de-
PENDANTS claimed a prior right to the
water, and that If they were in error
there was no willful or malicious design
in the acts Of closing mp plaintiffs
bitches, and of taking the water. A
United States patent for the homestead
was put in as evidence.
While the Ferrin trial in the First
District Court was in progress yesterday,
the loud voice of a female could be heard
as of storm raging in the Granu Jury
room. Presently the lady came out
looking daggers and making long strides
for the conrt room door. The audience
smiled and another lady of quieter 1is-
position, entered the inquisitorial cham
Der.
The wild beasts of the Berch Greek
solitude are row declared to have been
lynxes. Years ago they gave the
shepherds much trouble. Still it is a
difficult matter TO decide upon the quad
rupedal identity.
